Reply #5: Not the "unconstitutional super committee!!!" thing again.

[TheWraith]

For the umpteen billionth time: There is nothing either unconstitutional or even UNUSUAL about a joint congressional committee, nor does this one have the special magical powers that the hysterics in the blogosphere have attributed to it. The committee, if they can get the votes, makes a set of recommendations. Those recommendations are then passed on to the full Congress. That's very average procedure, and saying anything else shows that one hasn't done any research into the actual facts.
